Leave a Comment
René Magritte (1898-1967) is hailed as one of the foremost figures of surrealist art, and Brussels served as a cornerstone of his creativity. The city’s dynamic streets and cultural depth provided ample inspiration for his iconic works. At the Musée Magritte Museum—located on Koningsplein—you can fully appreciate the breadth of his art, with over 230 pieces and archives on display, from paintings and gouaches to vintage advertising posters and film snippets.
As part of the Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium, the museum continually evolves, thanks to collaborations with institutions and private collectors worldwide. This means visitors regularly encounter artworks that have rarely, if ever, been exhibited. With eight distinguished nominations and awards, plus 300,000 annual visitors, the Musée Magritte Museum is an essential stop in Brussels. Don’t miss Magritte’s quirky “vache” period, a testament to his humor and willingness to defy expectations.
Staying at The Urban Yard Hotel puts you just a short walk or ride away from this must-see attraction. Head to Koningsplein 2, 1000 Brussels, or email info@fine-arts-museum.be for more information.
